Best waffles in the WORLD!!! We had breakfast here every day :) Just wonderful food, wonderful relaxed atmosphere....wonderful service :) Did I mention their amazing waffles??????
Loading up to leave.....
Some pictures of our BCAL group ready to leave...the porters loading up the limo....
While we were waiting....
A few pictures taken in the foyer/ back gardens of Chateau Whistler while we were waiting for the limo.
Too much champagne?
Me looking a little worse for wear (after champagne and wine!!) on Monday night AFTER the dinner and dance! I'm still waiting for the pictures of me with Queen Elizabeth!!! :)
Arriving in Vancouver....
A few pictures of Vancouver, arriving in Langley and the traffic here....I think I prefer our nice quiet life in AB.....my nice quiet Hwy 14 and the straight roadsd I know well that don't make me feel as though I'm on a roller coaster :) Oh and the picture of the traffic was taken at 3:15pm NOT rush hour!!!!!! On a Tuesday!!!
Although Horse Shoe Bay seemed very nice - North of Vancouver, on the coast......a sea view would be fairly LOVELY!!!! :)
Logging...
When my Sister went to Vancouver in the early 80's she brought me back a colouring book of Vancouver sights. There were pages of totem poles and various Vancouver buildings, and I remember the page showing logs floating in the water and down the rivers.....so it was wonderful to see this for real!
View from the Sea to Sky Highway...
These pictures were taken through the car window....of the view from Hwy 99 (Sea to Sky Highway) between Whistler and Vancouver. The bottom picture is of our first view of the sea - in the inlet near Squamish, BC.
The views with the sun shining on the sea wre breathtaking! And this was the first good look at the sea for me in over 5 years - and the first time I have EVER seen the Pacific Ocean :)
Pumpkin heads :)
These displays of pumpkins were in the foyer at Chateau Whistler.....perfect for some Fall pics :)
Still online!
This hotel has free internet (as opposed to the $14 a day at Chateau Whistler) so I can still blog.
This post should be titled 'Back down to Earth' because we left Chateau Whistler (children driven in a limo again!) and came down here through Vanvouver and into Langely. This hotel is ok but more like a Travelodge than a decent hotel! I miss the five star treatment and now it is CLEAR to see that you get what you pay for!
Ok I am a snob lol and make no apologies!!
And....it's raining.....AGAIN!!!! And there is no swimming pool. Bev has gone to Go Banana's a playground by the mall and we may join her or may just head to the mall.....tonight we will go out with Lloyd but he's working today (his last day of work for the week.
This morning we had breakfast in our room which was nice.....tonight we will go for a drive....I still have so much to blog about the last couple of days - just no time! So many pictures to post too!
Last night Jeff took us all to the Olive Garden (15 of us) Tonight Lloyd and I are going to the casino.....tomorrow night we are all going bowling and for dinner. Friday we are spending the day in Chilliwack with friends....a couple we met at Whistler - Norm does the marketing for BCAL and his wife (don't know how to spell her name but it sounds like Joldie) is so nice - they have inivited us over to their home....
Friday night we are being taken out for dinner by an investor - so it will be 17 of us and we have no idea where yet......Saturday we are all having breakfast together and then we leave for the airport.
Its raining again today...this BC weather sucks big time.....
